The last three films to come out of the Rage Films production studio have documented numerous skiers (up to 30) in shorter-length segments—and have been huge successes. After ten years in the business, the Bend, Oregon-based film company decided to mix things up with their fourth production, Booter Crunk (which is still being filmed and has yet to be edited). The Rage crew has put together a talented roster, ranging from billy-goating big mountain rippers to jib-focused urban destroyers, with plans to create lengthier segments. With a resolution to focus more on the jib scene, yet film nothing within resort boundaries—save a few events like Superpark— Booter Crunk promises to be Rage’s best showing to date.
